OMG, that's a GREAT price on a very high quality bar! That one may have the graduations along the bar so you don't need to have three hands when you set it in a holder.
One holds and moves the boring bar.
One holds the wrench to lock the bar in the holder.
One holds the scale to get the measurement making sure the bar sticks out far enough to bore through the whole part.
So now you need good inserts for it, and Walter just came out with some new ones that you'd love. They aren't cheap, but you don't have to buy a whole pack of ten.
CPMT21.51-MP4 grade WPP20S. edp# 6481732, list $9.75 each.
FWIW, that boring bar has a list price of $139.00, so I'd have to say you earned a
!
I'd buy that last one in a heartbeat if I didn't already have solid carbide boring bars in that size range.
